SOULS INTERTWINED

Chapter-1

Cassandra Elizebeth Crawford

Cassandra: "Arthur, are you ready?"

Arthur: "2 mins Betty"

Cassandra: "Make it quick."

Arthur: "I am ready."

Cassandra: "Let's go before anyone could see."

Arthur: "Yeah, are you sure mom and dad will be okay with what we are doing?"

Cassandra: "Artie, you know how much exactly they care about us, so it would take them days to realise we are not home."

Arthur: " true that we could probably go missing, and they won't realise."

Cassandra: " let's go and see the real world, brother."

Arthur: " let's go, Betty your the best."

Cassandra: "Artie, you don't have to state facts."

Both of us laugh and take their duffle bags, and run into the back garden. Once near the wall, we climb the ladder we set up last night and jump across the wall. We spot out my best friend Haley's Ferrari and run towards it.

Cassandra: "Hey, hales," I say, opening the door

Haley: "Hello Betty, where is Arthur"

Arthur: "I'm here."

Haley is shocked

Haley: "Your such a snake; when and how did you slide in."

All of us laugh

Cassandra: "Hales, drive fast before the guards see us."

Haley: "Don't worry, Betty, when Hales is here."

We reach the private airport and get into Haley's dads private plane, and Arthur pops open a bottle of champagne, refusing help from the air hostess's. He fills three flutes for us and gives us one each.

"To adventure", Arthur toasts

"To adventure", we both shout together

After a two hour flight from London to Nice, we are greeted by our best friend Charlotte and her boyfriend Charles.

"OH MY GOD, YOU GUYS MADE IT"

Charlotte shouts enthusiastically, and the three of us group hug for a solid five minutes. Meanwhile, Charles and Arthur laugh, looking at us.

Haley and I hug Charles, and Charlotte embraces Arthur. Once we get into Charles SUV, we start to drive towards Monte Carlo.

Charles: "Cassandra, where is your apartment?"

Cassandra: "It's near the harbour, Charles, and it's my first time going there," I say

Charles:" Oh, it's OK to give me the location. I will take you there."

Charlotte: " Baby, what's the hurry? Let's take them home first."

Charles: "As you say, baby," Charles says, winking at Charlotte

Haley: "Baby, huh, seems like love is in the air" all of us burst into laughter, and the love birds start to blush.

After a long drive overlooking the beautiful French Rivera, we reach their apartment complex, and we get down and start to go inside when Arthur shouts

Arthur: "Hello gorgeous girls, we are not home, so no butlers to carry your luggage, get your asses her and take your bags", holding three bags

Haley: "Why do we need butlers when we have your honey" Haley mocks him

Arthur:" This is the limit," Arthur says as Charles gives him a helping hand to carry the luggage as we walk into the complex, talking to each other. Once we got settled in, Charles came in

Charles: "Baby, I'm going karting along with Daniel and William."

Charlotte: "Come back soon, honey."

Charlotte kisses Charles

Charles: " Arthur, do you wanna join?"

Arthur: "Sure, Charles"

Both the boys leave the apartment, and we pop open a bottle of Dom Perignon and move into the balcony.

Cassandra: "Beautiful view Char," I said, admiring the scenic view

Haley: "It's gorgeous; you choose a good home."

Charlotte: "Thank you guys, but all credits go to Charles; either way, come let's have some fun."

Charlotte: "It's been long since I met the two of you" Charlotte makes a fake sad face

Cassandra: "Feels like ages", I whisper

Haley: "It's fine; We finally made it."

Cassandra: "Yeah, it feels so good to run away from that home of mine."

"I get you," both of them say in a low tone

Charlotte: "so what's been happening in your lives?"

After hours of catching up, they were interrupted by Charles and Arthur, who also brought along two very handsome men.

'Wait, is that William Smith?' I thought to myself while staring into his irresistible deep brown eyes.
